Split Button Disappeared

Question

I recorded a 3 hour and 48 minute VHS tape. When I go to the Export screen, the file in the video list has a warning about video length, but the file is greyed out and the split button has disappeared. I have tried all variations of check-marking auto-fit and span but nothing changes. This did not occur with my 2 hour VHS tape. I have attached a photo of my screen.

Any thoughts? Is a nearly 4-hour video just too much for the software to handle?

I only have a 4.6GB disc at this time so I will have to manually split. I am unaware of the procedure. Thanks for any help!

The video is actually one long clip from a VHS tape. It is saved as "Italia and More 2" because it is VHS tape #2. I'm not sure why I have a (1) there as well. I must have duplicated a file title. Still getting used to the process.

Now you see why you write down the time and by not doing anything but saving the Project at this point you leave yourself the option to go back into any and adjust it.

Only when you are Done and Happy with it, do you start Burning. - now at this point I might put a Menu on the very first one but make the other with No Menu so they play when inserted.

Another tip - Never use Auto Fit for the DVD! Your are starting with VHS quality and if the program lowers it even slightly, it will degrade the quality. (set the slider to Highest Quality in the outputs that have one)

If it somehow goes astray, you still have that Original File you safely tucked away

I usually outline all this on paper before I start and use that as a guideline while I go through it. I keep the discs pre-labeled to prevent ending up with 2, Disc twos and no Disc 3
